Tag Archives: ten dimensions

I have been in many conversations recently about how we, as Homo lumens, experience higher dimensions, in what often seem to be paradoxical ways. As we explored our many different experiences in these realms, and how we interpreted them, I started to see another pattern. This world that includes higher dimensions seems to be real. We all describe our experience of it in many ways. Whether with my kids, my wife, in the park, hearing about a friend’s beautiful experience with the hospital staff. I experience the radiance the experience gives off. I experience the pull to the experience. I experience myself as part of and a part from the experience. All at the same time.

If I experience this, then in some way it is real. At least to me. If you experience it as well, then maybe it is real in another way. What if this world made of higher dimensions–higher than the one to four dimensions we normally perceive–is real, and it is mine and yours and ours?

This brings up, for me, the observation from psychology that much of what I see in the world is a projection of what I am seeing internally. I am projecting my internal movie onto an external screen, which might look like you, and I am saying that the projection is real. In this case, is the higher-dimensional reality where I am experiencing the push, the pull, being apart from and a part of my reality, your reality, or our reality? It would be dangerous to assume that what I experience as your radiance and your pull is shared. It would be healthy if you too experience the radiance toward me and the pull towards you. It would be pathological if I believe you are radiating towards me and attracting me, and you do not. Can I know which it is? I think so.

Three simple observations might let me know whether this experience is healthy or pathological, only mine or shared. First, when I experience higher dimensions, in my world, I simultaneously experience being in its radiance and its pull, apart from it and a part of it. In my world, the one I experience, it is real. Second, I cannot have your experience of higher dimensions. I can be with you with your experience, but I cannot embody it. That is your sovereignty, by design. Third, I can know with you whether you are also having the shared experience of the same higher-dimensional essence. I feel pulled to be part of this particular school community, and so do you. We are both part of a shared experience, and we can know this through our sharing.

So, I can know my reality of the push, of the pull, of being apart from, and of being a part of. I can be with you with your experience of the same. You and I can be in a shared experience together. We can both experience the energy radiating from the experience and the pull of the deeper purpose we share.

When I experience this world within me alone, I interact with it. When you experience this world, and I experience this world, with you, we experience it together: we interact. We interact with the experience together. I experience this interaction in my separateness from–as apart from–and in my connection with–as a part of. So do you. And when we interact, I experience that I need your perspective of the experience to complete what I can experience of our interaction together. I need you to be different and relevant in this shared experience, so that we can interact in this deeper shared purpose, bringing the best uniqueness we each have. If we do not each experience our own apartness from, then it would be more difficult to realize that we each have a unique experience of the push and the pull. We can then choose to contribute our apartness from as a part of.

That we experience higher-dimensional experiences through our ordinary awareness in fewer dimensions then seems to be a gift. This allows me to experience more directly my apartness from, my unique experience of the push and the pull, of what the attraction to and the partness of mean to me and to my unique gifts. I can then consciously choose to be a part of the experience, to contribute myself. I become a part of it, one with it. When we each do that, we come together, we interact, and we create a stronger agreements field, through our conscious choice together. We can co-host this experience together. We can shift from I interact with the experience to we interact with the experience, and a much richer world can open up with us.

Like this:

Sometimes I feel the strong radiance of the sun, or a beautiful performance, or just looking at the face of my wife and kids. I experience this radiance coming out of them, like it is pushing its way to me, and I bask in its outward rays.

I also experience an attraction in these same experiences. A desire to be closer, more connected in the experience. I experience this attraction as a pull, like they are pulling me towards them.

A push I get. A pull I get. A push and a pull at the same time? How can that be? Mustn’t it be coming in or going out, pushing or pulling?

Now, what if I try to make sense of this experience from my “normal” 3D or 4D world? In lower dimensions, I feel apart from the higher dimensions. They are not “here now” with me, in my four dimensions. They feel like something else, out there. I can see and touch the table in front of me or the face of my child. I experience being with them over time. Those other dimensions are not here right now in the same way.

Feeling separate from them, I feel the push from them and the pull to them.

And, when I simply sit in the higher-dimensional experience, I feel like a part of it–no push and no pull, rather one with. So, maybe I experience the push from something and the pull towards it when I bring only the lower dimensions of the experience into my awareness. When I bring the higher dimensions into my awareness, I feel at one with. Not apart, rather a part.

For thousands of years, we had the rich inner pictures we perceived from elaborate storytelling. Then there were the 2D images in black-and-white then in color on the big movie screen. Now we have 3D images popping out at us, from screens big and little. In Imagining the Tenth Dimension, Bryanton jumps way past 2D and 3D to 10D, inviting us to imagine the 10D reality that physicists tell us we live in, and possible implications of that 10D reality.

For the timid of mind, Bryanton starts by warning the reader that, “anyone wanting to dismiss the levels of detail we are imagining in these pages as ‘too extravagant’ would do well to keep in mind how extraordinarily, inconceivably extravagant we already know the universe to be” (p 5). “All of these theories [of physics, such as string theory] tell us that it is the harmonics of superstring vibrations happening in the tenth spatial dimension that create the basic laws that define our reality–the strength of gravity, the charge, spin and nature of subatomic particles…It is the energy of these strings’ vibrations which is converted into mass” (p 5).

Bryanton walks us quickly through the initial build up of the dimensions, showing that 0D is a point, 1D is a straight line, 2D is a split, a branch into two lines, creating a plane, and 3D is a fold, which is “what we move through to get from one point to another in the dimension below” (p 11). Instead of adding a third dimension to space, creating a volume, like most do, Bryanton uses the fold to start us thinking about how we perceive reality differently from different dimensions, a mechanism he uses in the subsequent dimensions. So, the third dimension is how we can jump from one point to another in the perception of the second dimension.

He now repeats this pattern with the 4D being a line, which connects two points or states of existence of the 3D being. Two different states of you, for example, connected with a line, as perceived from 4D. 5D is a split, branching into different possible lines. You know one of those lines, which you live on as time, because that is the one you lived on, in your 3D experience of a 4D reality, branching in 5D. Which branch you experience is a function of choice and circumstance. 6D is then a fold into different worlds of branches you, as you experience yourself, did not take. The pattern then repeats, with 7D being a line of all possible timelines for the universe we experience, 8D is a split, and 9D is a fold. 10D consists of the vibrating strings that make up existence, according to string theory.

This is how Bryanton builds up an inner image of the experience of 10D reality. For the rest of the book, he looks at some implications of this image. Such as, what or who chooses the path we take at each branch in the 2D, 5D, and 8Ds? Is it you when you are aware, conditions when you are not, or a higher-order existence? He then explores the notion of time. Does time exist as a separate thing, a dimension, or is time what we call the experience of movement through the changing of energy states? If existence is full of energy everywhere, and energy moves, through power and work, then maybe the higher order dimensions of energy shifting states is what we call time, in our 3D experience of reality. And we only experience one line of shifts in form–our time–because that is the one we experienced. Time is what 3Ders, like us, call the experience of 4D. Bryanton also explores why the speed of light is constant, while Einstein found all other speeds to be relative. “In the ten dimensions as we’re imagining them, the speed of light is defined by interactions in a higher dimension than the one we live in. This is how it can be independent of how we move in the fourth dimensions.”

Through these explorations, Bryanton leads us to choice. “As creatures with free will, we are constantly moving through the fifth dimensional paths that are available to us, selecting one of those paths as our personal timeline…a life-changing decision or event that breaks old habits and old patterns will certainly direct a person’s life to a new trajectory, making other future paths more likely to be followed from that point on” (pp 118-119). Awareness matters. Choice makes a difference. And this is the link to ecosynomics, that choice makes a difference in the agreements we consciously enter, and that these agreements change everything. And, as I explored in an earlier blog, you already know all of this, from your own experience. The question is whether you use what you know to choose the agreements that influence the interactions that determine the experience and outcomes you achieve every day. With Bryanton’s enjoyable read, you have 10D glasses with which to perceive the multi-color, multi-possibility universe of choice before you. It is your choice whether or not you put on the 10D glasses.
